Individual Psychotherapy
Individual psychotherapy sessions at Cascade Counseling & Wellness blend talk therapy with creative arts and contemplative practices. During your one-on-one sessions, you will be encouraged to share your concerns and reflect on the challenges and accomplishments you’ve faced. As many of the symptoms that cause us to feel unwell live not just in the mind, but in the body, you may be guided through evidence-based practices meant to build awareness, concentration, resilience, and compassion—all necessary elements to making lasting changes in your life. These practices might include dance, mindful movement (stretching and breathing exercises), restorative yoga, mindfulness meditation, journaling or immersion in art, music, or nature. Just like physical exercise can help muscles become stronger and more flexible, contemplative practices can strengthen the systems in our bodies that support rest, relaxation, connection to self and others, and a sense of ease. In addition to experiencing these practices during sessions, talk therapy will be utilized to connect your experiences to the unique challenges that led you to seek out support and psychoeducation will offer you insight into how and why the practices work. You will be given the opportunity to process and express your emotions while learning practical coping skills that can be implemented in your daily life.
